'Somebody Has to Pay': GOP Lawmaker's 3 Siblings Wants His Removal From Congress Over Riot
Three of GOP Arizona Representative Paul Gosar's siblings reportedly contacted Democratic Representative Raúl Grijalva, urging the congressman to remove their family member from Congress following the events of Wednesday's deadly Capitol mob riot.

"Five people are dead and Congress has been attacked," David Gosar, the Republican congressman's brother, according to the Arizona Republic. "Somebody has to pay a penalty for it."
David Gosar said Paul Gosar "has parroted the exact same lies that Trump has," in regards to the election. The Arizona representative was one of the Republican congressmen who objected to the electoral vote certification when Congress reconvened after the riot Wednesday night.
"We know him to be an extremist and we took that very seriously," said Jennifer Gosar, another one of Paul Gosar's nine siblings. "I believe that my brother has been a constant perpetrator of misinformation. I've been incredulous at the lack of accountability thus far. I would think Wednesday would be certainly a line."
"He's set a dangerous sort of precedent along the 10 years he's been in office," said Tim Gosar, a third sibling. "When you talk about what happened the other day, you're talking about treason. You're talking about overthrowing the government. That's what this is. If that doesn't rise to the level of expulsion, what does?"
This is the third time in three years that members of the Gosar family stood against their brother. In 2018, a number of Gosar's siblings gained national attention for appearing in an advertisement for his Democratic opponent, David Brill. Then, in 2019, they endorsed Democratic challenger Delina DiSanto over their sibling.
In a statement to the Arizona Republic, Grijalva acknowledged hearing from the Gosar siblings, but said he was more focused on President Donald Trump's accountability in the riot.
"I am first and foremost focused on removing the President from office as soon as possible," said Grijalva. "But we must not overlook the role that some Members of Congress played in promoting the baseless conspiracy theories that led to Wednesday's siege of the Capitol. It's no secret that some threw gasoline on an already raging fire."
"If a Member of Congress willingly violated their oath of office and tacitly encouraged a mob to overturn the results of democratic elections, their actions should be investigated and they should face consequences. If that includes expulsion, so be it," Grijalva added.
According to the U.S. Constitution, "each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member." Expelling a member of Congress, however, is rare and happened only a few times throughout U.S. history.
Newsweek reached out to the offices of Paul Gosar and Raúl Grijalva for comment, but didn't hear back in time for publication.

Gab is literally a neo-nazi hangout which benefited from the 8chan site shutdown after the El Paso white supremacist terrorist attack — edgelord teens and nazi assholes of all stripes migrated to Gab as this was the base the owners wanted in the first place. Now with Parler shutting down Gab is going to see a similar (and likely bigger) migration + increase in unique visitors.
It’s worth taking a look at these sites so you or others don’t get coddled into the “it’s just a different political view bro, free speech!” hand wringing and excuse making mainstream media generally engages in when it comes to these fascist fucks
No Marriott money for Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and all Republicans who voted against certifying Joe Biden

CAPITOL REPORT
Money talks, and at Marriott International , it’s speaking out loudly against those who objected to the certification of the 2020 election following the riots in D.C. last week.
“We have taken the destructive events at the Capitol to undermine a legitimate and fair election into consideration and will be pausing political giving from our Political Action Committee to those who voted against certification of the election,” a Marriott spokesperson Popular Information.
The political newsletter asked 144 corporations that donated to at least one of the eight objecting senators if they’d continue to offer financial support. In addition to Marriott, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Commerce Bancshares also said they would be suspending donations.
“In light of this week’s violent, shocking assault on the United States Capitol, and the votes of some members of Congress to subvert the results of November’s election by challenging Electoral College results, BCBSA will suspend contributions to those lawmakers who voted to undermine our democracy,” Blue Cross Blue Shield said.
Separately, high-profile names like Bank of America Ford Motor and AT&T all told Popular Information that they would take recent events into consideration before making future donations. CVS Health Corp. Exxon Mobil , FedEx and Target said they’re reviewing their policies.

The attack on the Capitol may have also been a superspreader event

The attack on the Capitol may have also been a superspreader event
Congress’s attending physician warned House members on Sunday that they may have been exposed to the coronavirus last week, after evacuating from the House chamber when pro-Trump insurrectionists stormed the US Capitol.

In an email, attending physician Dr. Brian Monahan wrote that, after evacuating to “a large committee hearing space,” members “may have been exposed to another occupant with coronavirus infection.”
“Please continue your usual daily coronavirus risk reduction measures,” Monahan goes on to say in the email, and “obtain an RT-PCR coronavirus test next week as a precaution.”
Monahan’s warning is especially stark in the context of a video obtained last week by Punchbowl News — a new news outlet started in early 2021 by a handful of Politico alums — that shows evacuated House members unmasked and in close quarters with each other.
In the video, one lawmaker — Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, a Delaware Democrat — can be seen offering other members masks, but many turn down the offer.

“While I was disappointed in my colleagues who refused to wear a mask, I was encouraged by those who did,” Rochester said in a Friday tweet after the video became public. “My goal, in the midst of what I feared was a super spreader event, was to make the room at least a little safer.”
It’s unclear if the room in the video is the same one Monahan’s email warns was the location of a potential coronavirus exposure, but the footage, combined with the email, raises the alarming possibility of a Covid-19 outbreak on Capitol Hill.
Since Wednesday, at least one House member — Republican Rep. Jake LaTurner of Kansas — has announced that he tested positive for Covid-19, though it is again unclear if LaTurner is the person with a coronavirus infection referenced in Monahan’s email.
LaTurner, a first-term member of Congress, confirmed in a tweet that he tested positive on Wednesday night — the same day the Capitol was attacked.
“Congressman LaTurner is following the advice of the House physician and CDC guidelines,” a tweet from his official account said, “and, therefore, does not plan to return to the House floor for votes until he is cleared to do so.”
There also are obvious coronavirus concerns about the mob of largely maskless pro-Trump insurgents who swarmed the Capitol on Wednesday. Many of these insurrectionists were in close contact with members of the Capitol Police while lawmakers evacuated.
“You cannot keep distance if you’re trying to leave a very intense and dangerous situation,” one expert in respiratory virus transmission, Seema Lakdawala, told the New York Times last week. “You’re weighing the risk of your life over the risk of getting a virus at that moment.”
Also of concern is that if the events of Wednesday result in additional Covid-19 cases — or even morph into a superspreader event, though there is currently no evidence that has occurred — Congress is a particularly vulnerable population.
In particular, age is a significant risk factor for cases of severe Covid-19. According to Mayo Clinic, about 80 percent of US deaths from the virus have been people age 65 and older — and the average age of House Democratic leadership in the 116th Congress (the 117th Congress began just last Sunday) was 71. The average age of the entire Democratic caucus in the previous Congress was 58, and for the Republican conference, 57.
One fact that could help limit any potential spread, however, is that many members of Congress — including the top-ranking members of each party in the House and the Senate — have already received the the first of two Covid-19 vaccinations, hopefully lessening the risk of an outbreak. As Vox’s Kelsey Piper has explained, “getting just one dose still reduces a person’s chances of getting Covid-19 by 80 to 90 percent, at least initially.”
Congress has been spared the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic
Despite the risk factors on Capitol Hill, Congress has thus far been spared the worst of the coronavirus pandemic. As of mid-December, 49 members across both chambers had tested positive for Covid-19, though that number has since grown, and there have been no deaths among serving members.
However, Representative-elect Luke Letlow, 41, died of the coronavirus in late December, just days before he was set to be sworn in as a member of the 117th Congress.
Even elderly members of Congress, such as Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, 87, who tested positive in November, have come through the experience in good health, though Alaska Rep. Don Young, also 87, said on Twitter after surviving the virus that “very frankly, I had not felt this sick in a very long time.”
That’s in sharp contrast to the plight currently facing the country at large: Overshadowed by Wednesday’s insurrection on Capitol Hill, the US on Thursday reported the single highest one-day death toll of the pandemic with 4,112 deaths.
On Friday, the US also recorded 300,000 new cases in a single day for the first time ever, reporting 300,594 cases. On average, the country has reported 253,958 new cases per day over the last seven days, according to the New York Times.
The broader US vaccine rollout is also well behind pace, with only 5.9 million people vaccinated as of Thursday, far short of the 20 million the Trump administration said would be vaccinated by the end of December.
It’s possible the tide will turn in the near future: Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, said last week that though the initial vaccine rollout has stumbled, “I believe that we will pick up momentum as we get beyond the holiday season into the first couple of weeks in January.”
And President-elect Joe Biden, who will be inaugurated in 10 days, has pledged a large-scale vaccine effort to get “at least 100 million Covid vaccine shots into the arms of the American people” within his first 100 days in office.
To do so, Biden has said he will make a somewhat controversial change to the US distribution strategy, releasing all available doses at once. Both vaccines currently authorized for widespread use in the US require two doses, and the Trump administration had chosen to hold back doses to ensure those who get their first dose are guaranteed to have a second available when they’re scheduled to receive it.
But even if the US vaccination effort improves in weeks to come, right now the pandemic is tearing through the US all but unchecked — and Wednesday’s events could have left Congress more vulnerable than ever to the virus.
